Here’s the Top Ten Slogans for the “Bike Awareness” Poster Contest. What’s Your Favorite?
Over 500 slogans have been submitted to the Bike Safety Slogan
Contest being organized by the un-likely (some would say un-holy)
coalition of the LAPD, the LACBC, MidnightRidazz.com, and the LADOT.
These groups have been working with the City of Los Angeles to procure
ad spaces in bus shelters and Public Amenity Kiosks (PAK.) The goal
being to raise awareness among road users about issues such as rights,
rules, safety, and road courtesy in relation to bicycles. The final
slogan will be designed and illustrated by the world renowned artist Geoff McFetridge.

Cyclists, LAPD Working on “Bicycle Awareness Campaign”
Everyone who had a problem with the "Caution! Pass With Care" posters because they were "illegal" can rest assured that the next awareness campaign aimed at motorists, but designed by cyclists will be perfectly legal. Of course, that the LAPD, along with the LACBC and "Midnight Ridazz," is sponsoring a contest to create the poster theme that will appear in bus shelters and Public Amenity Kiosks (PAK) throughout the city. People interested in learning more about the project, or how to submit a theme for the posters, the art is being donated by Geoff McFetridge, can read more about it at the LACBC blog.

Streetsblog Interview: Andres Tena
Late one Thursday night, or early on Friday morning
depending your point of view, this April an H3 Hummer hit a cyclist, and what
followed is a controversy that fuels emotions that rivals last year’s
Mandeville Canyon “Road Rage Doctor” Crash.
The LAPD’s ham-fisted handling of the crash report has led to charges of
bias and incompetence from various parts of the cycling community.
